A long break for me again! hehe! About 4 days long! heh! This feels good when the days draw closer to 31 May.

That's my level 124 High Priest racking up some dust inteh pryamids in Morocc. GOD-LIKE in xileRO. Spam fest of 'Sanctuary' and 'Magnus Exorcismus' every sec. heh, I got a Sin cross and a High Wizard. Both i think starting to falter compared to my HP. Was a Sin person. Now a Priest fanatic! heh... Come people Join the RO gamefest! It's free!

Was quite surprise that Leon and Shih Han is coming to my unit! OMG! They are just so... suai. Oh well, since they are coming here, hope that they try to make do and learn as much as possible in this unit. A GC learns much more than all the NSFs in the unit, this includes the officers! heh! Mostly decision making, interaction between people, management and the 'H' factor, which shall still be remained a mystery. One shall find out about it himself, may even be using it unknowingly...

The haze is back... My throat's getting irritating now.

Back to camp tomorrow!

Is this a F15 or F16?

P.S

Valentine's with a GPMG

It's been a long while since i blogged. LAzines, i guess.

Spent a wonderfully boring Valentine's Day in camp with Kelvin and the GPMG. The GPMG doesn't exchange much in the date. Heh.

I finished reading Blink By Malcom Gladwell. I intrigues me that in his last few chapters he talks about temporary autism when stuck in a critical situation with little time to react. Firstly, I have gone through such similar experiences in camp. Eg, some vehicle caught fire, sudden activation and some irritating siren going on and off. This temporary autism comes about when their is little time given, let's say a quarter of a second, there's a man reaching into his shirt for something. You think it's a gun. He takes it out and fires a shot. At this moment, your state of mind would be overwhelmed by the stress induced. Your receptive senses gets narrowed down. Basically, your awaresness is focused on the gunman himself, not your surroundings. Then your brain thinks through the next couse of action. Then a slight pause again.

It's pretty interesting. It happened to one of the guys too. In a sudeen activation, the guys was holding on to the car keys in his hands. Yet, due to stress, his mind shuts of his knowledge part of him holding on to the keys in his hands. He panics even more when he can't 'find' the keys. Till someone told him where is it. Hah.... interesting.

That aside, I'm to playing RO once again... heh. DiviniaRo lookc appealing. Now the damn prob is to download the client. Grrr.

Breakfast at Cafe Cartel with Tim was great! Nice portions of sausages and bacon, eggs and a muffin. On top of that free flow of bread! Much better than Mac's at the same price!

An rare opportunity to go onboard! 'Wah's and 'Wow's were flying out of our mouths non-stop!

The experience was great! We took a lift on the hydraulic platform to the flighdeck. F18s lined up neatly with wings folded. Hawkeye's massive wings tilted to the back! Walking from one end of the ship to the other took like 10 mins? It's amazing how people live in such claustophobic environmentts! Heh, they claim that a father and son worked on the same ship, never saw eachother for like 2 years?

It's like a floating city!

Bought a engraved Zippo light and a Admiral ball cap. That busted my wallet a LOT.

Another slack day...

I'm pretty much paranoid when i'm on off. I would practically check my phone for a few times every few minutes. Alas, no sms or calls means good news till then! Yet all the 'MCs' sms started pouring in at night... Bad. Give me a Break!

Oh well, upon pondering and pondering over my current and future cashflow, I decided not to gey the Cervelo frame after all. It's too expensive. $2275 isn't a small sum for me. And I have no sponsors at the moment to let me embark on a sporting frenzy. My parents aren't too keen about me cycling since my last fall. So I'm scouting around for some frames. Found one actually, Scott Speedster S10. Has the same spec i'm getting if i'm building one. Might be getting it stocked, change the saddle and Voila! Save all the trouble. heh... Around $3200 for everything. That's like a 1000 bucks cheaper than my Cervelo built bike. Let's see how then...

Gonna start doing some graphical stuff with Photoshop CS2 tomorrow! hope it will be fun!

Go for Needs, not Wants...

Watched Fearless! Heh. then a few hours of BF2. Yeah, the game rocks! I was in my 'play' mode so the rigourous hours playing of RO played off well. Went to MJ for more BF2 while they slept X.x Currently a First Class Private with a Spec Ops Badge. More to go. Hopefully i can play it on my bro's comp someday =P

Ah, I tidied my comp! Looks so empty now! Next stop the room!

Was talking MJ about the essential 'Wants and Needs' in our daily lives. I realised that our desires can be made in to essentials with just some mere reason s to convience ourselves. It's a thin line to play with when it comes to budgeting... gah!

Those eyes are just so mesmerisng! Me like people with unique eyes! heh....

Ah well, I watched the movie WEEKS again. Yeah, the first day it came out. I was pretty much not impressed by it. It was a OK rating for me. I read the book, so naturally my standards would be way up in the clouds than those who haven't. Heh, they have to cut so much stuff! Some points were missed out though. And the story doesn't end when Sayuri gets to mingle with the Chairman! The girl who played small Sayuri is pretty. Ziyi with her acting as usual. Her expression in the scene with the Baron, er... undressing her, looked amusing to me...

Heh, I need to get my butt moving more frequently! I'm getting Phat.

I'll be on off till next tuesday. A good time to tidy up my room and perhaps some soul cleansing too.

I realised the Maplestory has snapped about 32 hours of my life away. DAmn, the senseless jumping around is making me stoned. I need games like Battlefield 2! Damn com work!

Gonna sleep now... I want a camera handphone! Then i can blog through my pda on the go! Sweet! Just found Reina's blog! Would link it up somehow...
